29. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
The unique behaviour of Cu, having a positive E° accounts for its inability to liberate H2 from acids. Only

oxidising acids (nitric and hot concentrated sulphuric) react with Cu, the acids being reduced. The stability of the

half-filled d sub-shell in Mn2+ and the completely filled d10 configuration in Zn2+ are related to their E° values,
whereas E° for Ni is related to the highest negative Δ hyd H°. An examination of the E o
3+ 2+
values the low
(M /M )

value for Sc reflects the stability of Sc3+ which has a noble gas configuration. The comparatively high value for

Mn shows that Mn2+(d5) is particularly stable, whereas a comparatively low value for Fe shows the extra
 stability of Fe3+ (d5). The comparatively low value for V is related to the stability of V2+ (half-filled t2g level).
